Jiang Yunsu was about to max out her favorability with Ji Yanzhen when the world reset because the story's character settings had collapsed.
On her second try, the mission was downright absurd.
In public, she had to maintain her vicious supporting-villain persona and mercilessly humiliate Ji Yanzhen.
In private, she had to change her appearance, secretly heal Ji Yanzhen, and stop him from turning evil.
So...
Jiang Yunsu had to summon every ounce of her acting ability to torment Ji Yanzhen in every way.
"Ji Yanzhen, have you forgotten? You're nothing but my dog."
Ji Yanzhen slowly raised his eyes. Shadows roiled in their depths as he gripped her ankle and drew closer.
"Is that so? Then you better keep me on a tight leash. Don't you dare let go."
What the hell, he's a freak!
At the same time, she secretly gave him medicine. "These pills will heal your wounds. Take them, and don't die."
The youth lowered his eyes with a soft laugh. "The fairy sister cares about me this much... Don't you want something in return?"
What she didn't know was that Ji Yanzhen had long since seen through her double act.
But in the end, Jiang Yunsu still died according to the original plot.
Ji Yanzhen went mad.
He tore apart the laws of Heaven, forcing the gods to negotiate with him.
"She will return. You only have to wait."
A thousand years later, Jiang Yunsu returned.
But the once-reticent youth had long since become an obsessive Demon Venerable.
In the darkness, he held her chin. A tear fell into her palm.
"Jiang Yunsu... You really are so cruel!" His voice choked. "A thousand years... a whole thousand years. Do you know what it's like to count the days, waiting for you? Don't leave me again, all right?"
